Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild is a
striking contrast to the secretaries of the
Treasury of the past few years. Old age
and i'll health have been replaced by the
vigor ofyouth. The new secretary has none
OF the unhealthy pallor of Secretary Fol
ger, and his step is free from the totter ol
Secretary Manning. His eyes laugh with
the brightness Of good digestion, and his
rosy cheeks show that his blood is full o.
life-giving iron. He is the personifcation
OF health, and there is no danger OF his
breaking down under the weight of his du,
ties.
